On the nature of time:
We experience the universe as a past (nothing is instantaneously real to us as it takes 'time' to register once a phenomenon has occurred); could it be that time has three variable expressions, much as dimension space does ... linear, planar, volumetric ... such that time has past (linear), present (planar), and future (volumetric)? Is our consciousness residing in (planar) present, while our spacetime mechanism registers (linear) past?

Read Julian Barbour's The End of Time (available on Amazon) and get back to me.

Maybe consciousness is the "carrier wave" of all existence, based on how it was all created.
